Akasuna no Sakura (COMPLETED)

❤️Chapter 17❤️

Pein

As Sakura approached Pein with bubbling lips. His softened face melted. Him and his 5 divas of destruction (Am I remembering that right?) were brought to their knees as she approached them for the very last time. He was reminded of his favorite memory of her.

Pein bounced Sakura on his knee as he filed paperwork with one hand. She was holding her stuffed teddy in the other hand as she blew bubbles into his face. Pein was facing Tobi, who had laid his evil plans out all over Pein's desk. It had been mere weeks since the jutsu.

"Tell me again her purpose Madara." Pein looked down at the cute child, who smiled at Tobi.

"She is cute. Do you not like her?" Tobi smirked in his deep voice, making Pein chuckle. "I do, trust me. It's just her purpose I am curious about."

"My reasons for having a child around the Akatsuki are tight lipped. Just know that her presence is for our benefit." Tobi smiled. Pein shrugged. It was Madara's decision to turn Sakura in the first place.

"And could I just ask again, why her?" He lifted the baby up. She giggled and put her arms up. Tobi chuckled. "She is an interesting kunoichi. She has connections to the Uchiha, to the current Hokage, the Kyubbi, the list goes on." Tobi chuckled. "It also helped that her presence would be greatly missed by many of importance."

Pein put Sakura down on the floor, who used her hands to steady herself over his knees. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Tobi jumped and popped his mask back on. Within seconds all the scrolls and evidence were gone, and Tobi was on the ground on his knees playing with Sakura.

"Come in." Pein gave his attention to the stack of paperwork on the table. Oh how he hated paperwork. In walked Deidara and Sasori, ready to brief their recent mission. "Leader Sama-!"

"Yay!" Sakura pushed up off the floor and stumbled to Sasori's side. Comically, she ran right past Deidara to Sasori, and clutched his legs in relieve as he picked her up.

"She was fine." Pein shrugged. "Konan said she was well behaved. So good job." Sasori smiled with relief, and wiped the smile from his face quickly as she stared at Deidara. "P.U!" Sakura yelled, making Deidara blush. He had been hit by a skunk right before returning.

"He does stink. Doesn't he?" Pein called aloud, laughing as Deidara ran out the room in an angry fit, everyone laughing at him.

"Mission went successful. The gang will not pillage your village again." Sasori smirked as he cuddled his favorite Akatsuki member. Pein nodded. Sakura turned around, waving goodbye to Pein over her shoulder. "Bye bye, grandpa." She sighed happily, closing her eyes. Pein's eyes widened. When the door shut, Tobi burst out laughing.

"I bet Deidara taught her that." Tobi darkly chuckled. Pein chuckled as well. That was a first.

"Grandpa Pein." He said aloud as he continued the paperwork. Not the worst thing she's called anyone.

And still, a whole year later and he can't get her to stop it. She wrapped her arms around him in farewell. "Goodbye Grandpa." Sakura sighed. He choked as he patted her back. He would not correct her again. He shuffled her over to Konan, who's eyes were dripping with tears.

Konan

Konan's favorite memory of her was allowing her to try a new thing. Konan had been out on a mission, and had seen a chocolate shop. Knowing her Sakura, she would love it. On the way back to the hideout, Konan stopped and bought her homemade chocolate. Sakura had been babbling about sweets, having gotten to taste them when being with Tob all the time. However she had not had these sweets.
